    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Yep every other piece of credit I have is fully up to date and showing no flags.

 

I am sure it is provident causing the damage to the score, as I said I havnt picked up on this for a year roughly now, so for 12 months each month my payments have been reported as late and showing a big fat £0 payment made also, and of course every month thats gone by some of those payments esp the ones just after the arrangment was setup have been getting later and later, some of them are showing as 8-9-10-11 months overdue now because of this error.

 

its not just a case of missing a single payment, my record is showing as if I hadnt paid a thing to this loan, with multiple late payments, some dragging back months and months. It must be that thats tanking the score. I have looked into this thats how I noticed the error with provident in the first place.

 

Just awaiting replies now im hopeful as ive also sent evidence to equifax and experian showing the payments have been made without fail of the £80 monthly, if they say that isnt enough Ill get hold of printed copies of the account statements and send them off by snail mail.

Just an update to this, after refusing to drop it and going on and on at satsuma, even threatening further action after they `again` refused my request to change the info via experian and equifax`s dispute system I finally today received a reply containing the following:

 

` I have reviewed the information we have shared with the Credit Reference Agencies. I am aware your credit file has not been updated to reflect your payment arrangement and we have reported your account as in sustained arrears with no arrangement. I would like to apologise for this error and any distress and inconvenience we may have caused you.`

 

They're updating the credit reference agencies and they even offered me a token £30 compensation.

 

I do have the option to take it further with the Financial Ombudsman Service as long as I do so within 6 months of the email.

 

To be honest im tempted to,

yes I appreciate my file will now be being updated with the correct info but you know what? these guys have really made it hard to sort this out, this has been going on for ages now and they've even multiple times refused to update the info when ive put requests in via experian and equifax,

 

not to mention the small fact that if I hadnt noticed my credit file with them would have been displaying this harmful and totally inaccurate info with no challenge,

 

not to mention the fact that due to their incompetence this has been sat on my file eating away at my credit rating every month that passed with another missed payment flag for a year or so now.

 

is £30 enough,

you know ive tried to get credit that would have sorted my affairs out a few times this year and ive been turned down and I cant help but feel if it wasnt for this one file dragging my score down I may not have been unsuccesful.

 

Im tempted to push for them to write off the rest of the debt entirely or I take it to the ombudsman, I feel thats the least they could do considering theyve had me spend so much time to correct an obvious mistake and their mistake has had such an impact on my credit rating for over a year.

 

what would the advice be here? should I threaten to take it further and see what they offer me?

make them properly default it from the right date

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Im determined to get them to at the very least write off the rest of the debt, they have not only trashed my credit rating for an entire year, but they have 3 times refused to alter the information when requested, the first time I noticed this was back in october 2017 when the first complaint was made and rejected, it took 3 further complaints being rejected, and finally me threatening to take legal action to get them to admit they cocked my file up on this.

 

a years worth of missed payment flags and arrears wrongly? multiple times complaints rejected wrongly? yeah thats worth more then a token £30 to me!

 

Of course the wrong data being present on the file and the consequences for me in terms of my credit rating have annoyed me.....but whats really annoyed me is the fact it took right up to a threat of legal action for them to admit they were in the wrong, even to the point of them activly refusing to change the data claiming it was accurate when requested change through credit ref agencies dispute systems.

 

An honest mistake is an honest mistake. But then lying and accusing me of being in the wrong when I knew I wasnt? Thats unacceptable. im going to the ombudsman I think, gonna see what more I can get out of this in terms of compensation.

30 quid, because they know it could potentially be hundreds or more if the ombudsman finds against them. But they know not many people know that.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
